Manny Pacquiao back in the ring with Vivid Games
The Real Boxing® franchise secures another major boxing licence
Just half a year after Real Boxing 2 ROCKY™ debuted on the market to critical acclaim, Vivid Games
partners with GTOKEN to bring boxing world champion Manny Pacquiao into a mobile ring in Real
Boxing® Manny Pacquiao. The game will be available on the Apple App Store and Google Play in Q2
2017.
Real Boxing® is a flagship Vivid Games franchise which has been enjoyed by over 42.5 gamers all over
the world and is still hungry for more championship titles. Come 2017, boxing fans will not only be able
to take part in competitive tournaments, level up characters or dominate fights online, but will also have
the opportunity to become Manny Pacquiao, the champion widely regarded to be one of the greatest
boxers of all time.
“It's another major milestone for the franchise and we are extremely excited to welcome Manny
Pacquiao in Real Boxing®. For the first time in the history, we will be able to invite our gamers to play as
one of the most popular boxers in the real world. With two big boxing licensed games on the market, we
are here to dominate the genre on mobile,” said Remi Koscielny, the CEO of Vivid Games.
Emmanuel “Manny” Dapidran Pacquiao has been the first and only boxer to claim championship titles in
eight different boxing divisions. While being a top-class boxer, he has as well been an active promoter of
his beloved homeland, Philippines – via his successful career and also by taking up public service as a
senator in the recent months.
“Boxing is one of my greatest loves, and I hope that I will be able to share my dedication and love to the
sport through Real Boxing®.” added Manny Pacquiao, World Champion Profeesional Boxer.
Proving his exceptional skills very early on, Pacquiao started his career at the age of 16 and has never
showed any sings of slowing down ever since. He has won the hearts of fans worldwide with friendly
attitude, good aura and tons of positive energy floating in the air wherever he appears.
In 2015, 20 years since starting pro boxing, Manny Pacquiao was a part of “The Fight of the Century”
together with Floyd Mayweather. The fight grossed over $500 million in revenue, bringing millions of
viewers to the edges of their seats.
Manny is set to return to the ring soon, with his next fight happening on November 5 in Las Vegas.
